On Saturday, Oct. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Kewanee Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will offer an opportunity to prevent medicine abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted items.

Residents may bring medications for disposal to the rotunda at Kewanee City Hall.

“Those that take advantage of this service may dispose of over-the counter medications, prescription medications, pet medications, vitamins, medicated ointments, and cold and cough medications that are in leakproof containers,” Police Chief Jim Dison said.”
